While I was outside raking leaves this weekend, it was nice to know that I had a meal waiting for me when I came inside. I didn't know what Tony's Cachere's seasoning was so I used some of Emeril's blend of seasoning. Served it with a side salad and cornbread.

Very easy recipe to prepare. Crockpot meals are the best. Full of flavour and easy to add more to make spicier. Very easy to double this recipe if having more over for dinner.
